Use magnets on all of the Mods cos i'm crazy like that). Unlike most G5 conversions I don't really want to use the built in latch for holding on the side panel so I have come up with an alternative solution using magnets (PS yes I i also have to literally rip the Heat sink out because i did not have a really really long torx screw driver that was really thing (2 screw under the HS needed a 20cm long Torx Screw driver that is less than 5mm wide for the full length). It took quiet a while to undo all of the torx screws holding the hardware in and figuring out how to remove the top shelf took a while (about 8 months cos I Rage quit for a while and then about 3 weeks before my parents were due to leave I spent 5 minutes on Google and figured it out LOL). The case has been cleansed of the Old Maccy Badness. I should ahve taken more Photos before i started to Mod the case but its too late now. I managed to score this case for free from Work however it is a bit beat up so it will never look perfect, Free is free so I cant complain. My parents are too IT inept to change from PC to Mac. Having a Mac will make you fit in in Melbourne

Below are my assumptions that lead to this Mod. The machine's tiny screen and low 1,680 x 1,050 pixel resolution is far removed from the standards of contemporary display technology.Shortly my parents are moving to Melbourne and given my assumptions about Melbourne I have decided to convert an old Power Mac G5 to an ATX case. And on a practical level, it's not exactly something you'd want to use on a day-to-day basis. This setup isn't for the faint of heart, and requires a decent amount of electrical engineering nous – not to mention the courage to required to void the warranty on a brand-new, £800 computer.

Extension cables gave him access to the machine's onboard connectivity, including the built-in Thunderbolt and USB-A ports. With a bit of soldering, Strupat connected the M1 to the iMac's rear-mounted power switch, allowing him to turn the computer off without having to disassemble the entire machine. Strupat also used a conversion board to pass video signals from the machine's HDMI port to the iMac's 17-inch display.īut this implementation went further still. Like Miani, the tinkerer stripped the iMac of its internal components to make room for the logic board and power supply of the M1 Mac Mini.
